Having watched Perse beat Stamford, we were in for a tough game. After they scored a try in the corner with quick passes, we identified their tactics and started to mount up the pressure. Oundle spent most of the game in Perse’s territory with the ball in hand. With this possession, Oundle started probing for an equalising try, which came when Jasper Orlebar chipped the ball over the top for Vyvyan Bewely to run on to. Another converted Perse try put a win out of reach, but the team showed great resilience, battling on until the final whistle in the hope of a final try. Even with this denied, The A team is now confident in contested scrummaging and we will aim to use this to our advantage against Stowe after exeat.
